RELEASE_WISPER.md

Setup

Ensure commits are always signed: git config commit.gpgsign true

The gem signing private key should exist at ~/.ssh/gem-private_key.pem (see gemspec).

CHANGELOG

Double check the CHANGELOG reflects all commits since last version and all authors are included.

Update the Version

• Decide on the new version number as per semver, e.g. 1.0.1

• Add the new version CHANGELOG

• Update wisper/version.rb (Wisper::VERSION)

• Commit and Tag

You should be prompted for a GPG password as all commits should be signed.

git commit -m 'v1.0.1'
git push origin master

• Tag and push

git tag -a 'v1.0.1' -m 'v1.0.1'
git push --tags

Build the gem

Full docs: https://guides.rubygems.org/publishing/
